Tenant Upfit Plumbing in Matthews
Upfits in Matthews split cleanly. A downtown storefront conversion means working with a building that predates most of the code it now has to meet, and the existing conditions decide the price. A suite on Matthews Township Parkway is a more conventional job where the schedule is the main risk.
Either way we walk it before we bid, because a number produced from drawings alone on an old building is a number that will change.

Downtown storefront conversions
Restaurant and café build-outs in older Matthews buildings are the most common upfit we bid here. Grease interceptor sizing and location, floor sinks and indirect waste for the equipment schedule, hand sink placement the health inspector will accept, and whatever the existing waste and water service turn out to need.
Newer retail and office suites
Break rooms, restroom additions and ADA upgrades, sequenced against the General Contractor programme with durations attached so it drops straight into the build schedule.
Bid packages that hold
Scope broken into underground, rough and trim. Fixture allowances itemised separately. Permit and inspection responsibilities in writing. Any existing-condition code items we can already see, called out before you sign rather than raised as a change order later.
What the housing here is like
A genuine historic downtown with pre-war homes, surrounded by 1980s and 1990s suburbs — meaning both cast iron and polybutylene in quantity.

Reviews
What customers near Matthews say
“This company was recommended by a neighbor and I could not be more happy with the service they provided! When we realized we had a semi serious water heater problem, Open Water Plumbing was very responsive, not only with calls and text to help me ensure the problem did not get worse but also made it a priority to get to our home to repair the issue the next day. I would happily use them again, and the price was extremely reasonable! 5 star!”
“Jacek installed my outdoor built in kitchen, unclogged my toilet (my daughter flushed down a plastic bottle) and he finished a couple other small jobs for me. He was always on time. Very easy to work with. Even if you think something is not possible, better call him first, I am pretty sure he will find the solution.”
Questions
Matthews plumbing questions
We are converting a downtown Matthews storefront to a restaurant. Where do we start?
With a site walk and a camera survey of the existing waste. Grease interceptor requirements and what the existing service can carry decide most of the budget, and both are knowable before you commit.
Do you work as a subcontractor to a General Contractor in Matthews?
Yes, regularly. Licence, insurance certificates and W-9 go out the same day you ask.
Can you price ADA restroom upgrades separately?
Yes — we survey against the current standard and give you an item-by-item list with a price against each, so you can stage it if you need to.
